| "Tsukinourade Aimashou": TVXQ’s New Single is a Heartfelt Nod to Their Japanese Journey |
Time flies, eh? TVXQ – the iconic duo who kicked off their Japanese debut back in 2005 – is officially celebrating 20 years in Japan. And to mark this massive milestone, they’ve just dropped a fresh Japanese single titled “Tsukinourade Aimashou” (“Let’s Go to the Darkside of the Moon”) on 20 July.
The track isn’t just any release – it’s a stylish reinterpretation of the beloved city pop gem by Original Love, and TVXQ’s version gives it a soulful twist packed with emotion, rich harmonies, and their unmistakable vocals. Basically, it’s TVXQ doing what they do best – turning classics into something uniquely theirs.
Since its release, global fans have been vibing with the song’s retro yet modern feel, and the response online has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s got that nostalgic groove that hits just right, especially for longtime fans who’ve been on this journey with them from day one.

But that’s not all. Alongside the single, the duo has hit another major achievement: a record-breaking 33 concerts at Tokyo Dome and a whopping 92 dome shows across Japan. Yep – that officially makes TVXQ the foreign act with the most dome performances in Japanese history. If that’s not legendary status, we don’t know what is.
The lyrics of “Tsukinourade Aimashou” reflect a quiet promise – that TVXQ and their fans are forever connected, no matter the ups and downs. It’s sentimental, hopeful, and very on-brand for an anniversary celebration that’s all about love, loyalty, and shared memories.
Looking ahead, the celebration’s only just getting started. This November, they’ll be hosting special fan events in Tokyo and Hyogo, giving Japanese Cassies more chances to connect up-close. Plus, they’re also slated to perform at ‘SMTOWN LIVE 2025’ at Tokyo Dome this August, so prepare for more epic stages.
20 years strong and still going – TVXQ proves once again that legends don’t just fade. They evolve, they grow, and they continue to bring the magic.
